It saddens and maddens me to discover this morning that some individuals vandalized and burned the picnic area on the D&L trail in Bethlehem. No doubt they’re the same ones who firebombed the outhouse at the Bethlehem boat launch off Hope Road earlier in the year. These people, most likely youth, undoubtedly have no moral compasses, little to no parenting and are probably involved with local gangs.

I don’t have fancy statistics, nor do I know the answer to this problem. There is no singular answer. I do know that something should be done. Police/citizen patrols, cameras?

If the perpetrators are reading this (if they know how to read), I will say that they’re a waste of human flesh, they’re consuming resources (oxygen, food, water, etc.) on this Earth which they have no right consuming, and there are four states that allow assisted euthanasia. They should do the rest of us a favor and just get it over with.
